It took a while to figure out which route might be right of 'Tuckered and Fried' but only 2 routes left of 'Little John' because there are 3 routes between.
Eventually we settled on the conclusion that the left most of the uncertain routes was easier (Fatman and Robin), and the right route was harder (The Avenger). This route is 2 routes to the right of Tuckered and Fried.

Which anchor are you supposed to finish on? You can go left or right from the last bolt, or perhaps directly up (which I did for 20 feet or so though one more roof). Seems like another anchor could add more climbing, one more bulge, and leave it separated from the others.

The best of the 'new' routes here. Jugs through a roof for a crux, but I didn't find a crux down low as stated in the description.
